As we look ahead to 2026, our focus remains clear: providing a top-notch platform for you to showcase your brand, connect with clients, and grow your business.
To ensure we keep delivering the quality events you expect, we are making important updates for the upcoming year. These changes aim to streamline our communications, improve on-site support, and maintain the quality of our services.
Here is what you need to know about our exhibit plans for 2026.
Transparency Regarding Booth Rates
We believe in being honest with our partners about the financial realities of the events industry. Starting in 2026, there will be a price change for booth rentals.
This decision was not made lightly. It is necessary to address the rising costs in the supply chain that allow us to create safe, attractive, and busy events. Specifically, this change addresses:
- Venue Rental Increases: Key venue costs have gone up significantly, with some locations seeing a yearly increase of up to 19%.
- Operational Costs: We are facing higher prices from booth contractors and third-party suppliers.
- Labor: Wage increases for the skilled workers who build and manage our events.
By adjusting our rates, we guarantee that we do not compromise on the quality of the venue, the safety of the setup, or the marketing efforts that attract attendees to your booth.
Streamlining Communication
We know that during event preparation, clear communication is crucial. To serve you better and ensure no request is overlooked, we are standardizing our communication channels.
Starting in 2026, to ensure quicker response times and better tracking of requests, all exhibit-related communications with our Marketing and Sales teams must be sent through the following official channels:
- Email (Official correspondence and contracts)
- Viber (Quick updates and coordination)
- WhatsApp (International and quick coordination)
Centralizing our chats means our entire team is on the same page about your needs, reducing the chance of miscommunication.
Introducing Dedicated Exhibit Zone Managers
We are dedicated to providing you with more hands-on support during the event. For 2026, we are implementing a Zone Management System.
Instead of looking for a general organizer during the busy show, each section of the floor will now have a Dedicated Exhibit Zone Manager.
How this benefits you:
- Proximity: Your Zone Manager is responsible for your area.
- Speed: If you face technical issues, security concerns, or logistical questions, you can approach the assigned personnel in your zone for immediate help.
Moving Forward Together
We are excited about the year ahead. While price changes are part of the current economic situation, we are committed to service excellence through improved communication and dedicated support on the ground.
Thank you for your continued partnership. Let’s make 2026 our most successful year yet.
